It should be noted that any decision to maintain a mixed model should consider that mere duplication of the proposed CEC/DEC mixed composition of 17 members would certainly not be practically appropriate at the PEC level. In this respect, administrative needs and ensuring the smooth-running of election day proceedings should be prioritised when establishing PEC composition. If there is not a clear administrative reason to have more than the currently proposed minimum 7 PEC members, with one additional member added for every 300 voters registered, it is recommended to maintain these numbers in whichever model is used.
